Capcom has been giving a lot to talk about for the last few weeks, and that is that with the arrival of the new Resident Evil 3 Based on the original 1999 release, the company has scored another success, repeating excellent digital and physical sales numbers for its remastered versions.
In February 2019, Capcom had already had great success with the launch of Resident Evil 2 Remake, which for a whole year came to exceed 5.8 million of units sold for a total of 6.5 million units sold, becoming a resounding success for the company.
Now Resident Evil 3 Remake has started to emulate that great success, selling 2 millions of units in just five days since its official launch, where the digital versions make up 50% of the units. This success is due to the digital strategy of Capcom when announcing their new releases where we could enjoy the Demo to test the new Raccoon City design before RE3 Remake was released, as well as the online version of Resident Evil Resistance.
It should be noted that the original version of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis 1999, he managed to sell approximately 3.5 million units during his career, while the new version released on April 3, 2020, already has some 2 millions of units sold, which definitely makes it a top seller and is having a pleasant reception by fans of the franchise.
The franchise of resident Evil It has been one of the most successful in the history of Capcom with some 95 million units sold in just over 20 years, making the success of the remake of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 they are not a coincidence, and that without adding what could be the next Resident Evil 8 that would be arriving at the end of this 2020 or during the first quarter of 2021.
